Announcing Knowledge Tree: Open-Source Infrastructure Discovery

announcementopen-sourceinfrastructure

We're excited to announce Knowledge Tree — an open-source infrastructure discovery and auto-documentation tool.

The Problem

Modern infrastructure is complex. Teams juggle AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, DNS, and dozens of other services. Documentation is always out of date. No one knows exactly what's running or how it connects.

The Solution

Knowledge Tree solves this by:

1. Discovering resources across all your clouds and clusters automatically

2. Mapping them into a knowledge graph (PostgreSQL + Apache AGE) that captures every relationship

3. Documenting your infrastructure with auto-generated Markdown, HTML, and Mermaid diagrams

Key Features

- Multi-cloud discovery: AWS, Azure, GCP out of the box

- Kubernetes native: Deep discovery of deployments, services, pods, ingresses

- Knowledge graph: Cypher queries on your infrastructure topology

- LLM enrichment: AI-powered summaries and runbooks (Ollama or OpenAI)

- Plugin SDK: Write custom discovery plugins in Go

- MCP server: Let AI assistants query your infrastructure in natural language

Get Started

git clone https://github.com/knowledge-tree/knowledge-tree
cd knowledge-tree
docker compose up

That's it. You'll have a running instance with sample K8s data in minutes.

What's Next

We're just getting started. Check out our GitHub repository to contribute, report issues, or star the project.
